Kids Are Growing Up Way Too Fast!!

 Last month Andray and Roslyn used the baseball potty chair for the last time! They gave the chair to their baby cousin Easton...and he's doing great on the chair at his home in Cold Spring! So much fun!

 Roslyn is our little "Al Bundy!" She loves to sleep with her left hand down her pants, too funny!
This week we plan to move Roz to her "big girl" bed. It's long over due, but I just couldn't bare with getting rid of the crib. The kids are growing up way too fast!  They truly are best buds for life, so thankful!

An Incredible Week at the Lake...

Thanks to my mom and dad who rented a beautiful cabin on Lake Norway, our entire family was able to enjoy a wonderful week at the lake! Andray caught his first fish with his CARS fishing pole, both kids learned to swim and dunk their heads under water, Isa Lu learned how to play bean bags and got her first 3-point shot, we spent time by the camp fire and were able to have a "jammer" day! Lots of great memories made with family!
Dad helped all the grandchildren fish last week, it was a blast!

 Mom and Dad helping Roz figure out her "Princess" fishing pole, too cute!
The "newest" Frank Fisherman.


 Andray was the first person to catch a fish last week! It was the first fish he's ever caught, pretty awesome!

Taking a nap under the sun on the back porch while the kids were inside...HEAVEN!
 Sibling Love!

 The kids had so much fun swimming in the lake with Jake!
 Dad...the fishing pro. Was fun to listen to Dad talk about Gpa Frank and all his fishing wisdom!

 Love these girls!
 Great times at the lake!
 Like Father...Like Son...

 Isa Lu caught a few fish as well, so much fun!
 The cousins found time for popcorn and a movie as well!
 Dad and Aaron working hard to get the fire pit started!
Mom with her grandbaby Amelia Mae.

 Isa and Andray had a blast in the lake!
 Even Gram and Uncle Jeff came to visit for an afternoon.
 Frank Cousins.
 Love my babies!
 Isa was a pro jumping off the dock! This is my new fav photo of her!
 Love these girls!
Our beautiful Goddaughter.

We had an amazing summer vacation...memories for a lifetime!

Happy 3rd Birthday Neely Raychel!

Happy 3rd Birthday to our beautiful niece Neely Raychel on Saturday...we love you Neely Pooh!

Corn on the Cob...Our Family's Favorite!

 Last weekend we picked up a bag of Sweet Corn and it was a hit for supper on Sunday! Thank the Lord for sweet corn in the summer!
 Andray is just growing up way too fast! He is definitely turning into a "little man" now!

We are looking forward to a fun weekend. A trip to Olivia to see Gram, volleyball tourney on Saturday in Danube (Fun Days, yay!) and the Stang Stampede...always a lot going on and always so much fun.

Summer Fun in the Sun!!

 Summer is truly among us as we've enjoyed some pretty HOT days the past few weeks! Thank the Lord for our little baby pool and our beach ball sprinkler!

Andray and Roslyn love the beach ball sprinkler from Papa Steve & Grandma Sandy!


The kids have also been enjoying our sandbox in the back yard as well! Fun times!

We Had a Marvelous 4th!

 We had an incredible time camping at El Rancho for the 4th! Our campsite was right by the lake so we literally spent 2 days in the water! What a blast...we beat the heat!

The "super soakers" were a hit in our kiddie pool and at the lake!

Andray in action with his super soaker!
 Our kids got some "quality time" with their older cousins Skyler and Ella last week!

 Eric and Sarah brought their "Snow Cone" machine with to El Rancho...it was a hit and all of us enjoyed a few snow cones!
 Roz pretty much topped off the entire green container of flavoring by herself, can't make it up!
 Good times with the Boucher's!
Brotherly-Sisterly love!
 Skyler and Ella taught our kids how to play "Hide-and-go-Seek" as well. Pretty fun outside by the campers!

 Roz had an accident in the van while Jake and I were packing up the camper. So she had to wear my shorts on the way home. Jake said..."Now THAT'S camping at it's finest!" ha!
I had an awesome week of vacation with Jake and the kids, so thankful.
